Folks concerned about mileage should be avoiding the AWD system (well, folks in general should in my opinion... Tires>AWD)
Insurance is honestly more a function of driving record and where you live.
I pay like $600/yr for full coverage, $0 deductible on glass and stuff, for an IS350

I average 23-25mpg
Price difference between the 250 adn 350 is the most when new. I bought my 350 at a 250 price if not less.
I just stated my .02 cents on the driving experience of the car.

I get around 24-26 mpg locally+highway driving around ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
and I think 19 inch wheels also took affect in mileages (like 1 mpg)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I pay $1996 for 06 250awd and 98 maxima (no abs, traction control...etc) this year
No comprehensive, collision, towing and rental coverage....
but got a speeding ticket in delaware last summer so i don't know how much it would be for my next year's policy....
ugh gotta LOVE NJ...

I had a 2012 250 loaner a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was nice and light. Good power and gas mileage. I love my 350 but living in an area where construction and traffic is a constant hassle, i think a 250 would be a better choice. I love both. ^_^

At least with a loaner, you get to do the things you really would not do with your own car.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Is insurance also based on car weight? Long ago an insurance agent told me that my Camry because it was heavier and therefore, would cause more damage on another vehicle, would cost more to insure than a Corolla.
